It seems to have A LOT of notes in common with Cassini! Is it just like Cassini, does anyone know?

I still have an almost full original bottle of this from like when it first came out!! And guess what it still smells the same. I guess I should wear it up but it reminds me of my "wild days" and I just love sniffing it lol. I got it for my birthday from my sister maybe thats why I don't use it up? Great unique scent with powerful silliage and lasting strength.

I was VERY dissapointed when the discontinued Basic Black!! I LOVED it. Men at my job (friends) would follow me just to smell the fragrance. Can't you bring it back??

Its a shame this is discontinued - its one of the sexiest fragrances I own. Very complex, with heady floral notes as well as woody and spicy notes, its a very dark scent as the name "basic black" implies. I'd consider it a very mature scent, and not for teens at all.
